1.0 Introduction Ground water regime monitoring is one of the key activities of CGWB to generate

information on ground water level/ quality through representative sampling. The primary objective

of establishing the ground water monitoring network stations is to record the response of ground

water regime to the natural and anthropogenic stresses of recharge and discharge parameters

with reference to geology, climate, physiography, land use pattern and hydrologic characteristics.

Ground water levels are being monitored four times a year during Pre Monsoon

(March/April/May), August, November and January. The ground water regime monitoring was

started in the year 1969 by Central Ground Water Board. At present CGWB has a network of

20698 ground water observation wells, out of which 14674 observation wells are dugwells and

6024 are piezometers, During January 2014, 14391 observation wells have been monitored and

analysed. An increase of 3000 observation wells as compared to observation wells analysed

during January 2013 has been achieved which is part of an initiative of CGWB to expand the

monitoring network in the entire country. The water level / piezometric heads data collected from

these observations are entered into the National database and are analysed for obtaining

background information of ground water regime changes on regional scale during the month of

January, 2014. The Groundwater level data has been collected from all the states except for

Mizoram & Sikkim and UT of Lakshadweep where water level monitoring is not being carried out.

The groundwater level data for Andaman and Nicobar could not be included in present analysis

due to incomplete validation. The detailed ground water scenario in respect of Nagaland,

Manipur, Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Pondicherry are not included in the report.

Water level data of January, 2014 has been analysed to illustrate spatial distribution of

water level and its categorization under different ranges. The January data has been compared

with the previous year January data (annual fluctuation) and also with Premonsoon of 2013 data

(seasonal fluctuation) and mean of last 10 years January monitoring data (decadal fluctuation),

the analytical results are represented through tables and maps along with suitable explanations..

Database thus generated forms the basis for planning the ground water development and

management programme. This data is also used for assessment of ground water resources and

establishing changes in the regime consequent to various development and management

activities.

2.0 Rainfall Pattern

Water level / Pz heads are resultant of all input/ output from the aquifer. Apart from draft

of ground water for various purposes, quantum of rainfall and its component being recharged to

the ground water is major controlling factor of the depth to water levels and it’s annual, seasonal

or decadal fluctuations. Thus, study of rainfall pattern is very important for understanding spatial

and temporal variations in water levels. As per the Climatic bulletins of IMD for monsoon period of

2013, the rainfall pattern has been studied and discussed in the following sections. The actual rainfall for 2013 SW monsoon season received over the entire country as a

3

well as over four broad geographical regions are given in the table below along with respective

long period average (LPA) values. The rainfall during the 4 monsoon months and the second

half of the monsoon season (August + September) over the country as whole are also given.

Season (June to September) rainfall

Region LPA (mm) Actual Rainfall for 2013 SW Monsoon Season

Rainfall (mm) Rainfall (% of LPA)

All India 886.9 936.7 106

Northwest India 615.0 671.8 109

Central India 974.2 1195.3 123

Northeast India 1437.8 1037.9 72

South Peninsula 715.7 825.6 115

Monthly & second half of the monsoon season rainfall

over the country as a whole (All India)

Month LPA (mm) Actual Rainfall for 2013 SW Monsoon Season

Rainfall (mm) Rainfall (% of LPA)

June 163.5 216.3 132 July 288.9 307.5 106

August 261.0 257.0 98 September 173.5 149.5 86 August +

434.5 406.5 94

September

As seen in the table above, the season rainfall over the country as whole and that over

three of the four geographical regions of the country (except over northeast India) were more

than the respective LPAs. The season rainfall over northeast India was less than its LPA. Month

wise, the rainfall over the country as a whole during the first two months (June and July) were

above its LPA values. On the other hand, the monthly rainfall during the last two months (August

and September) of the monsoon season was less than respective LPA values.

The season rainfall from 1st June to 30 September 2013 was excess in 14 subdivisions, which constitutes 48% of the total area of the country, normal in 16 meteorological subdivisions (38% of the total area of the country) and deficient in 6 meteorological subdivisions (14% the total area of the country).

In June, except for 3 subdivisions from extreme northeast India (Arunachal Pradesh,

Assam and Meghalaya, and Nagaland, Manipur Mizoram & Tripura), which received deficient

rainfall, all the other subdivisions (33 out of 36) received excess (25 subdivisions) or normal (8

4

subdivisions) rainfall. In July, 10 subdivisions from northern, eastern and northeastern parts of the

country and one in the extreme southeast (Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry) received deficient

rainfall. Out of the 25 remaining subdivisions, 12 subdivisions received normal and 13

subdivisions, majority of which are from central India and along the west coast, received excess

rainfall. In August, rainfall activity weakened compared to the first two months but was close to

normal. During August, 8 subdivisions received excess rainfall, 18 subdivisions received normal

rainfall and remaining 10 subdivisions received deficient rainfall. The excess subdivisions were

Jammu &Kahsmir, Punjab, west and east Rajasthan, west and east Madhya Pradesh, Gangetic

West Bengal and Tamil Nadu. The deficient subdivisions were 3 of the 4 subdivisions of

Maharashtra (except Vidarbha), north interior Karnataka, Lakshadweep, Odisha, Bihar, and 3

subdivisions from extreme northeast India.

In September, the rainfall activity reduced further and 17 subdivisions from north, east,

northeast and central India received deficient or scantly rainfall. The 4 scantly subdivisions were

Punjab, west and east Uttar Pradesh and east Madhya Pradesh. Out of the remaining 19

subdivisions, 9 subdivisions were excess and 10 subdivisions were normal. The excess

subdivisions were, west Rajasthan, 2 subdivisions of Gujarat, Madhya Maharashtra, 3

subdivisions of Karnataka, Kerala and Rayalaseema.

From the monthly distribution, it can be clearly seen that during most part of the season,

the 3 subdivisions from the extreme northeast received deficient rainfall. On the other hand, most

of the subdivisions from the central India and neighboring northwest India and south Peninsula

received excess rainfall during the first 3 months of the season. However no subdivisions

experienced scantly rainfall during first 3 months of the season. Only in September that 4

subdivisions received scantly rainfall. Overall, there was noticeable disparity in the spatial

distribution of the rainfall with below normal or deficient rainfall over east and northeast India and

above normal or excess rainfall over most of the other regions.

3.0 Ground Water Level Scenario in India

3.1 Ground Water Level Scenario-January 2014

The ground water level data for January 2014 indicate that out of the total 14391 wells analysed,

1840 (13 %) wells are showing water level less than 2 m bgl, 5839 (41%) wells are showing water level in

the depth range of 2-5 m bgl, 4277 (30 %) wells are showing water level in the depth range of 5-10 m bgl,

1760 (12%) wells are showing water level in the depth range of 10-20 m bgl, 462 (3%) wells are showing

water level in the depth range of 20-40 mbgl and the remaining 219 (2 %) wells are showing water level

more than 40 m bgl, the distribution of number of wells under different depth ranges is presented in the

histogram (Fig-1) and statistical distribution is given in Annexure-I. The maximum depth to water level of

112.60 m bgl is observed in Rajasthan whereas the minimum is less than 1 m bgl. The depth to water level map of January 2014 (Plate III) for the country indicates that in Sub-

Himalayan area, north of river Ganges, Assam, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, Jharkhand, Madhya

Pradesh Odisha, Bihar, Gujarat, Tripura and Coastal Tamil Nadu generally the depth to water level varies

from 2-5 meter below ground level. Shallow water level less than 2 m bgl have also been observed as

isolated patches in Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Northern Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh,

Gujarat and Odisha. In major parts of north-western states depth to water level generally ranges from 10-

40 m bgl. In the western parts of the country deeper water level is recorded in the depth range of 20-40 m

bgl and more than 40 m bgl. In some parts of Delhi and Rajasthan water level of more than 40 m bgl is

recorded. Along the eastern & western coast water level is generally less than 10 m. Central part of West

Bengal state recorded water level in the range of 5-10 m bgl and also 10-20 m bgl. In Central India water

level generally varies between less than 2 m bgl to 5 m bgl, except in isolated pockets where water level

less than 10 m bgl has been observed. The peninsular part of country generally recorded a water level in

the range of 5 to 20 m bgl depth range. Fig- 1

are showing rise in the water level in the range of less than 2 m. About 11% wells are showing

rise in water level in 2-4 m range and 7 % wells showing rise in water level more than 4 m range.

About 31% wells are showing decline in water level, out of which 25% wells are showing decline

in water level in less than 2 m range. About 4 % wells are showing decline in water level in 2-4 m

range. Only 3% wells are showing decline in water level more than 4 m range. (Fig-2 and

Annexure-II). Majority of the wells showing rise/decline falls in the range of 0-2 m.

A comparison of depth to water level of January 2014 to January 2013 presented in the form of water level fluctuation map (Plate IV) reveals that in general, there is rise in the water

level in almost the entire country, especially in the states of Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, Bihar,

West Bengal, Chhatishgarh, Orissa, Maharashtra and Gujarat. There is a fall in water level

mostly in the range of 0-2 m covering most parts of the country. Fall in water level of more than 2

m has been observed in small pockets in the states of Assam, Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan and

Gujarat. Fall of more than 4 m observed in small pockets in the states of Andhra Pradesh,

Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Punjab, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu
